    So, apparently I pronounce the word “controversy” weirdly 😂 That is the British way of saying it. Google agrees with me! 🇬🇧 Also, please don’t leave mean or hateful comments. Thanks ❤️Check out my video about the latest Todrick Hall drama: bit.ly/3tPmhVO

      I like it, it's very elegant. 'Con-TROH-vassy' As a Canadian I say 'CON-tro-vursey', with a very pronounced, rhotic 'r' sound.

    It’s really sad, actually. Todrick is really talented, but the ego can be a dangerous thing. Being friends with Taylor Swift, being a regular on a popular show, staring on Broadway.....I think he started to think he was top dog and untouchable. He forgot that just as easy as things come, they can go just as fast.

    I just wanna say something on the topic of Todrick. As a dancer of 10 years I absolutely hate the way he talks to queens on the show. A professional dance teacher would never talk to students that way. He always taunts them about not knowing the choreo after a couple minutes.. like dude give them a chance to learn it first. You’re not gonna learn a dance that fast especially with non-dancers 😒 even I still have a hard time picking up choreo when first learning it, you don’t get it perfect the first few times, it’s about the practice afterwards.
    I just hate how he makes the queens feel bad or stressed out for not knowing the choreo the first time learning it.. it ticks me off. None of my dance teachers have ever done that to me or other students. They politely correct you, not insult or taunt you. Maybe it’s just for TV, idk, but I hate it and find it frustrating to watch. I personally think it’s just another thing that reveals his real attitude.

      IMO, people blow this way out of proportion. He's asked for volunteers, for some of his videos, yeah. Of course he wouldn't pay volunteers. If you go in understanding that you're in a volunteer position, you shouldn't expect to get paid.
      He probably should be paying people at least a $50/day, for any kind of massive shoot, since he's a bigger name, now. But if he asks for volunteers, I don't think anyone can really fault him for it, personally. Don't want to volunteer? Don't.
      But a small misunderstanding and then asking for volunteers rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, and everyone just assumes he's a massive lying cheat, now.
      I don't think the DR fandom actually cares about the truth, 99% of the time. They just want to feel special for being in on the know.

    He has always been like this! When he was performing at Six Flags he would show up when he wanted to, not caring if they had to cancel the first show. I never knew him super well, as we were in different shows his last year there, but all the people who were there longer than me did. He came back to. Visit after his time on American Idol and my friends in my show went to talk with him afterwards. I went with them because we were going to take our break and get food after their conversation. I was politely waiting for them to finish talked and he stops in the middle of their conversation and was like, “I’m sorry, but who are you?” So rudely. That’s his character and it will never change. My husband was also a supervisor at Six Flags and couldn’t stand his bs. He always had bs at the park. It amazes me how many of the people forgot about it because he became famous.

    there's allegations he hired his, at the time, boyfriend to be a back up dancer on one episode of rpdr. his bf is British, and apparently did not have the correct visa to work in the US.
    todrick had wow pay his assistant, a US citizen instead and got the assistant to pass the funds along to the dancer bf. since splitting up, the now ex-bf, spoke up during an earlier round of the todrick is over party, exposing this detail, and how todrick allegedly defrauded wow and rupaul for hiring the Brit.
    the ex then went on to say the reason they separated was because he found out todrick was cheating on him. five years ago, todrick was still very adamant that he was waiting for marriage and presented himself as a "wholesome" character. apparently we all mistook him for using a w in holesome.

    I was so excited to see Todrick and Carson on BB together. Todrick killed it and I pulled for everyone except him. Gotta say, my life has not been affected since his disappearance.

    Just subscribed ❤️ really enjoying your info, I love drag race it kept me sane during lock down, but when you really like a show it brings all kinds of questions and curiosities about the queens, so thank you for your hard work getting it together it’s appreciated ❤️🇬🇧❤️

    wait for Todrick to start a GoFundMe to pay the 60k, and watch the delusional ppl actually donate him that money because they believe he's a good person.

    ICON no more. I think I've got this right but I'm not sure, A grown man who was bullied as a child has now become a bully himself that's disgusting

      I lived on the Gulf Coast of Texas for a while and I have relatives near where he came from and Texas. Texas can be really mean to anybody that is not Christian, not white, not straight, or any mixture of the above so even today no longer being a fan or supporter of his I still don't doubt that he was indeed probably bullied a lot as a child. However that's probably the only honest thing that's come out of his mouth lately.

    I'd been curious about Todrick for a while. This is a perfect summary, thanks!

    Hopefully one day they'll deploy Alyssa Edwards as the choreographer, I mean come on, she's a ru girl! Why not??

      Alyssa is fantabulous! She has done choreography on RPDR two times, thus far.
      Alyssa made a guest appearance as the choreographer for the Pharmarusical Challenge in season 10 episode 2, and in the Farm To Runway Challenge in season 11 episode 7. She was funny and encouraging, all at the same time. 💃🏾💞💃🏾

    I feel like fame definitely got to him, or maybe he’s always been like this. When I was younger watching him I was so amazed and saw him as an idol he seemed so bright and caring. This is disappointing to see now

    I think the wish list from Amazon was to show people that he doesn’t need anything because he can afford it himself. I think he saw it as a joke. Well the jokes on him if he was renting and now the public know. This is what happens when you pretend to be someone you’re not.🤪

    It seems like the only show he’s been 100% civil on was The Masked Singer. He was doing that around the same time he was doing BB. And I was rooting for him on MS, too. What happened to him these last couple years?
